The release branch is feature complete and will only get bug fixes
from here out.  The most major activities that are envisioned 
for the release branch are including a rewrite of the Development
Environment Guide (underway) and folding the Ada Getting Started
into the C/C++ since they are built out of the same tool source now.

Things I know of today that will NOT go on the release branch:

  + web server update
  + IRQ API work
  + Classic API blocking send on message queue
  + ...

So release branches tend to get fixes and no new development.
